Anagaea II – A New Age of Empires [1117 AD]

[Plethora]

Uhm why is Atenisia now magically all Baltic/Whatever/Greek.

I was aiming towards like, Latin union with my BROTHERS.

I just tried to simplify the ethnicities and figured since you capitol is called Athens...  Whatever, I can fix it.

What's up with this? They accept?

Aldegar is happy to establish peace and proposes to end hostilities; it's tired of fighting as well.
Groups within Tafelars are happy enough to conduct trade and all that.  The other three are all cordial but demand exclusive alliance/trade (at least between the three of them) given that they're all against each other.

[Swat 3]

Capital name is now changed from Athens to Rementianatio (Rematio in normal talk and walk).

[Mikoyan]

The King's forces, tired of waiting on high command to do something, take matters into their own hands. A certain Captain Dušan Jagoda rallies the remaining 7,500/11,000 men in the camp under the cover of night with cunning words and marches the troops straight to the Capitol. A bloody battle ensues with catastrophic results. Nearly 5,000 dead on Lotavik's side and half of Saobar's remaining militia either wounded, routed, or killed. The militia quickly surrenders. and the capitol is in Lotavik's hands.

residents of Saobar grieve their loved ones lost but are quickly distracted by the King and his heavy cavalry riding swiftly from the camp. The Royal Guard push through the remaining Fydorsmen detachments. Captain Jagoda is arrested on charges of high treason and brought back to Fydorsgobod for trial in front of the King's Court and nobles.

Meanwhile, Saobar's government surrenders and Saobar is fully annexed by Lotavik. The populous is outraged by Lotavik's occupation and cries for representation.

[SWAT One]

Sorry for the delay on this.

Iraji-Osamarian forces march into AEIU-occupied zones, their armor intentionally damaged and covered with goat and camel blood.  Some wear bandages.  They preach of a major victory against Galaumian and Avalonian forces—that our war machine has won.  A night of drinking and merryment follows.  Some of the soldiers, by instruction, do not drink a drop.  The other soldiers are told to drink only a little.

During the night and early morning, after the AEIU is sleeping off their liquor, spies infiltrate the city and cooperate with the more sober Iraji-Osamarian soldiers to slaughter every AEIU soldier that they can.  When the sun rises, the Galaumian flag flies again over the cities.

Horses are sent out to gather the Avalonian and Galaumian armies.

The Galaumian Army arrives outside the city gates. The Chieftains heir, now formally known as Phoranixae II, and 50 of his bodyguards enter the city. (steam rp when avaliable, swat)

Espovon sends scouting fleets to nearby islands. (east)

[Mikoyan]

After a brief trial in private, Captain Jagoda is found guilty of all charges and taken to his excecution place in Fydorsgobod, straight in front of the Royal Palace. It would seem as though half the populous of the town is there. The Captain is permitted to speak, but says nothing. As soon as his body hangs limp from the noose, the crowd goes into an uproar. Palace guards can barely keep the crowds back until Royal Guard units are assembled.

This goes on for about 2 hours. As the crowd grows more violent, soldiers are ordered to eradicate the riots by killing the members. Guard Pikemen form phalanxes and charge the rioters. This action causes many to die at once and flee under a shower of blood.

News of the happening spread like a wildfire throughout Lotavik and recently conquered Saobar. Many regular battalions and conscripted troops renounce their allegiance to the throne of Lotavik. A provisional government made of troops and higher ups of the Army that recently fought in Saobar send a declaration of war to the King of Lotavik. Thousands flee Fydoragobod to take up arms against the regime. Many of the noble armies stay loyal, however.

Officers of the revolutionist army are sent to Hlaohamar to request aid in the civil war.

[Swat 3]

Atenisia sends ships to the closest-island in the east.

They have found that the current island in the north of Espovon (not part of it) is RICH in minerals and the such, but only a little taste. Geographers suggest that other deposits could be in the other islands.

You killed him? :( I guess a martyr works just as well.

Hlaohamarr sends word back that involvement at this time is impossible due to losses from our war with Aldegar. We do verbally note however through the messenger that if the revolutionaries can hold their ground and even emerge victorious from a few major battles, we will gladly commit troops to their cause. Trading will continue to both sides of the war.

Since we didn't do them on Saturday when we were supposed to:

Random Events No. 14
Single Edit: This is the 15'th My Bad

Lotavik:  The turmoil in Lotavik is causing many to sell their belongings and the ready money caused by this, despite causing inflation, has made the economy throughout Lotavik improve somewhat.  (ECN:  70%)

Ezbátu:  SWAT, I don't know if you're officially back from your hiatus.  Regardless, nothing out of the ordinary here.

Atenisia:  Albiton undergoes a split after a combination of widespread corruption, national administrative and executive gridlock make many nobles believe that the nation cannot support itself as it is.  The large island and the entirety of the peninsula with the capitol on it form East Albiton, and the rest forms West Albiton.  In West Albiton, many supporters of Atensia lose their lives or their property as the nation pursues a more distant relationship with its neighbors.  It is currently unclear whether West Albiton will be a part of the Holy Order, as the Cassian faith was imposed less willingly in the region, and it is rumored that many desire freedom of worship.  (NPC:  30%)

Avalonia:  Nothin out of the ordinary here.

Galaumia:  The Galaumian army and the combined armies of Irajinad and Osamar experience a tense standoff, and from somewhere within the ranks of Osamar, an arrow is let loose which hits an officer of Irajinad.  Thinking it Galaumian treachery, both armies attack the Galaumians and each other.  Irajinad and Osamar are by far the worse for the battle, but several thousand Galaumian soldiers and horses lie dead as well before the armies withdraw from each other and the whole thing is sorted outs.  (MIL:  20%)

Caprica:  Nothing out of the ordinary here.

Hlaohamarr:  War has strengthened Hlaohamarrs government into one centralized, unified nation.  With this political strength, favorable peace terms are negotiated with Aldegar, ending the war.  Peace terms include a permanent ceasefire and the right for Hlaohamarr to conduct or block trade with Aldegar and Aldegar's partial funding of rebuilding efforts in Hlaohamarr.  (POL:  100%)

Auria:  Nothing out of the ordinary here.

Espovon:  Nothing out of the ordinary here.

Rēsugurētā:  Locals in lands recently taken by Rēsugurētā convince military leaders to stage a coup.  The Shogun is successfully overthrown and forced to flee with only a handful of troops loyal to him, mostly from the Watanēmasa Clan.  Factions within the military have become embittered against each other and a civil war now rages.  (MIL: 10%)

Ru'sh Naal:  Orshkal extends its shipping dominance to include Ru'sh Naal, and the nation is forced to pay an unfair price to conduct sea trade or pay unfair prices to Orshkal backed merchants.  (NPC:  40%)
Avalonian armies return to Galaumia's capitol and are horrified at the bloodshed that they had the good fortune to be no part of, but ready to support their Galaumian brothers should any more erupt.

Avalonia's feast (never addressed it before) goes over well, and the guests go home satisfied.  Avalonia proposes forming an group defensive alliance between Ormica, the Avalonian union, and Espul.

[Badger]

Espovon colonization parties have embarked for the eastern islands to improve trade to the far east 

[Swat 3]

wait so what's the situation

how does this affect me

"atenisian supporters in west albiton"

what

EXPLAIN PLS

[mlockha]

Galaumia:  The Galaumian army and the combined armies of Irajinad and Osamar experience a tense standoff, and from somewhere within the ranks of Osamar, an arrow is let loose which hits an officer of Irajinad.  Thinking it Galaumian treachery, both armies attack the Galaumians and each other.  Irajinad and Osamar are by far the worse for the battle, but several thousand Galaumian soldiers and horses lie dead as well before the armies withdraw from each other and the whole thing is sorted outs.  (MIL:  20%)

Both sides are in camp, Irajinad and Osamar are both inside the city and therefore would not shoot eachother, my heir is inside the city meaning they are not standing off, Negotiations are going on right now, neither side would have weapons at the ready, and even if, by the slightest chance, an Osamarian archer on the wall SPECIFICALLY turned around and fired inside the city at his own troops, someone would realize that ALL Galaumian troops are either not near the capital or in camp with no weapons at the ready and everyone standing down. Normally I don't bitch about RE's, but I'm sorry this would just not happen, especially since neither side is near fighting.

[grunterdb1951]

Rēsunese Buddhist warrior monks find themselves accompanying and guarding Buddhist monks entering both Auria and Caprica, with the intent of appealing to the government of both countries to create temples to share the teaching of Buddhism and teach the people the languages of Maiahane, in both High and Low dialect and Bastardized Shikiyakota, mostly to avoid the raging clashing of factions in Rēsugurētā. If asked and assuming they make out what they're trying to ask, they offer a crude mapping of the routes they took to arrive, all leading back to Rēsugurētā, where a civil war now rages. Of course, language barriers will no doubt make communication a bitch.

Meanwhile, with the news of the successful coup spreading like wild-fire, clans loyal to the Shogun, (And considering past events, almost all of them are), levy troops and begin their march to meet the rebelling forces. Warrior monk temples go into lockdown, preparing to force out either of the forces if they move in on their land. The much larger loyalist faction's troops slowly pick off the tricky and elusive forces of the rebellious faction, which get under the table assistance from three smaller clans whom feel they have been wronged, the Jikiro, Kaioji, and Kerosawa clans. For now, the civil war is at the most skirmishes between the east and the west, with  occasional failed attempts to attack the extremely well trained and independent Buddhist warrior temples that unfortunately lie in the danger zone of the civil war.

Considering my rather small population in contrast to the amount of land I have, that of which is equal with empires like Caprica,  and the fact that there was the entire heightened loyalty thing, I'm going to assume that the rebellious forces are small in size and mainly operate where they know they'll be successful, in this case surprise attacks and hitting and running.

"atenisian supporters in west albiton"

People with political power who, when Albiton was unified, really liked Atensia and were major political supporters of Atensia in Albiton's politics and within the framework of the Holy Order.

-snip-

Fine, new version because you do make some sense:
Dysentery spreads throughout Galaumia's camp; a large portion of Galaumia's soldiers near the capitol die and many more are left extremely weakened.  News of this filters into the city and the negotiations.

While political loyalty to the Shogun was high before the coup, his being deposed has caused many to lose faith in him.  About a third of the nation is still really loyal to him, and half of the nation's population is broken into three dozen different factions, while the remainder of people are just trying to weather things out and would not be unhappy to see the Shogun regain power.  A 10% roll can't be handled too easily, you know?
